    I guess you didn't read any of the details in your listing. No they didn't die in experiments the story is quite interesting I suggest you read it. All the rest of the deaths were by electrocution at standard electrical outlet and switching areas that would be at any power station coal, hydro, wind or solar.

    Your post seems to say you have evidence against my claim, yet your link is in full support of my previous point. The only deaths in that list related to nuclear pwer were at a government run facility.

    Did you just not expect people to actually read your link? Someone falling in a manhole and electrocuting himself while trying to get out had nothing to do with nuclear power.

    And this is where your entire argument falls apart. I'm sorry I grew up with a '69 bug and there is no comparison to a current VW. Standard features today were exotic luxury items of that era, and were not even considered on a super low cost car like the VW bug. To compare the current beetle You'd need to use a car similar in features. The best you could get from 1968 would be a Bently or Rolls Royce which would have listed between $50,000 and $90,000 at that time. So cars have gotten cheaper over the years for what you pay for.

    Killing the people on the left side of the buss would not make them any lighter. I think your analogy is very appropriate to global warming. Instead of doing what people do, innovate out of predicaments, we are suppose to just kill off our advancements. I like new tech like solar and hybrid, not because they "save the planet" but because they may let me upgrade my lifestyle without additional cost. If I can get a solar installation that costs me $10k for 10 years or pay the electric company $1.5k a year for 10 years then I've improved my life by $500 a year.

    Not everything is an argument for small government, but this certainly is. You want the next tyrannical maniac to have as little chance of success as possible by limiting powers in the government.
